Description

Hassan Hamid Assad (born Alvin Antonio Burke Jr.; October 28, 1973), better known by his ring name Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP), is an American professional wrestler, manager, and submission grappler. He is signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he is the on-screen manager of The Hurt Syndicate. He has also worked in WWE, TNA, and NJPW. He is a two-time WWE United States Champion, a one-time WWE Tag Team Champion (with Matt Hardy), and a one-time (and the inaugural) IWGP Intercontinental Champion.

After concluding his training under Soulman Alex G and Norman Smiley, MVP began wrestling for numerous independent promotions, including a stint in TNA. He won various championships in singles competition. He first signed with WWE in 2005 and was assigned to DSW, one of the company's developmental territories at the time. After being promoted to the SmackDown brand, he made his WWE debut in October 2006. During that time, his first United States Championship reign ended after 343 days, making him the longest-reigning United States Champion in SmackDown history.

After his departure from WWE in 2010, MVP joined NJPW in 2011 and spent the next two years there before leaving in 2013. He subsequently returned to the independent circuit and made appearances in TNA and ROH. He returned to WWE in January 2020 and left in August 2024, debuting in AEW the following month.
